I´ve played all the Gothic games and i fell in love with the first 2, but then came Gothic 3. It was buggy, broken and not even all the patches fixed what was wrong with it. But along comes Risen. I had mixed feelings about him and didn´t want to waste my money in another Gothic 3, but i could´nt let this game go past me so i bought it........and i love it! If you are not sure about this game, then just download the demo and see what its all about. You don´t want to miss this game if you are a fan of the Gothic series or even RPG´s, because this game has it all and ive not found a single bug in Risen.
Ok maybe there is one thing buggy enough to tell you about. Its these darn animals. The wont give up until they killed you or you´ve killed them all. You cant just run away, they will follow you to the end of the map! But if you use tactics in your fights and get them one by one, you will survive. And yes these animals travel in packs.

Good luck out there and enjoy.
